Testing NetNewsWire to post

I have posted the last entries using NetNewsWire to see how well it worked. I don’t like it as much as ecto so far. Don’t get me wrong, ecto is far from being perfect but it seems to be more powerful all around. Maybe I just need more practice with NetNewsWire? To be fair, I am using a beta of the next version and it seems a little buggy still at this stage.

Movable Type stylesheet

It doesn’t seem like MT handles not-recently-updated blogs very well. The layout breaks apart when there aren’t any entries on the main page.

Is it a strategy to force you to post?

So it begins…

I received my first two spam messages in the comments of my blogs today. Does that mean that this blog has attracted enough attention that spammers that my blog address would get harvested? Are spammers that desperate? Oh well…

It’s kind of sad when you think about it that my first post in a long time was prompted by spam!

Occupational metrics

In the spare time that I didn’t really have, I developed a little AppleScript app that calculated some stats like number of open windows, unread news item in NetNewsWire, etc. to determine your N.A.D.D. level. If anyone is interested, ping me to request a copy.

I remember having said more interesting stuff here but MoveableType shitty comment erasing interface resulted in the text of this post being replaced by the text of the comment I was trying to erase. This post has thus been re-created from memory.

Everyone else is doing it…

So here goes:

Not enough time…

I used to have a rather interesting post here but MoveableType shitty comment erasing interface resulted in the text of this post being replaced by the text of the comment I was trying to erase. This post has thus been replaced by this generic statement.

Site design update…

I have updated the design of this website including some nifty text-shadow effect for you Safari users out there.

TouchStream MacNTouch

Has anyone tried one of these? I wonder if it’s really that easy to get use to it and if it does provide the interaction benefits that it’s supposed to.

Also: do they glow when light is low like the AlBook keyboard?

Martian conspiracy

Here used to be a rather interesting post about how both US and EU Martian exploration robots have dog names and that both of them have experienced troubles but MoveableType shitty comment erasing interface resulted in the text of this post being replaced by the text of the comment I was trying to erase. This post has thus been replaced by this statement that MoveableType sucks.

WMD == vaporware?

Now, why am I not surprised?
